NOTE: The 20-return limit applies to returns filed on paper or electronically using NETFILE.
If you have any comments or concerns about this limit, please contact the CRA at NETFILE-E@cra-arc.gc.ca or visit www.netfile.gc.ca

We Find the Deductions. You Get Back Every Penny You Deserve.
We don't need to tell you that more deductions mean a better tax return. But maybe we do need to tell you about some of the deductions you're entitled to... after all, you may qualify for any of 400 available to Canadians. That's exactly what the QuickTax Deduction Toolbox does. With tools like the A-Z Deduction list, it does the hard work for you - and ensures that you don't overlook any items to claim, from medical expenses to tuition to RRSPs.
And thanks to our RRSP optimizing tool, you can use QuickTax Standard to see how different RRSP contribution amounts affect your refund. Then, you can contribute to your RRSP accordingly... and make the most out of your money.
IMPROVED! Handles Your Changing Life... Or, Better, Its Effect on Your Taxes.
Your life has probably changed over the course of 2009. Maybe you graduated university and got a job. Maybe you got married or started an RRSP. Much of what changes in your life can impact where you stand as a Canadian taxpayer... so QuickTax Standard helps you make sense of it all by asking "real life" questions that translate to fields in your tax forms.
So your life can continue to get more interesting - and your tax software can keep up with it all.
Carry Forward Last Year's Tax Data. (Even From UFile® or H&R Block® Desktop Software.) And Carry On With Your Day.
Save time entering data by automatically updating your current year's return with personal information & carry over amounts from last year's tax return. Even better, you cut down on human error when you automatically update, so accuracy is ensured. You can import from:2
QuickTax desktop software for the 2008 tax year
UFile® desktop software for the 2008 tax year
H&R Block® desktop software for the 2008 tax year
That means that, even if you used a different software program last year, you can still use QuickTax and reap the benefits without re-entering data.
